Hong Kong racing is now counting down till season's end and there are only 4 meetings left before the summer break.
This is the second last Happy Valley meeting for the season with 9-races set for the "A" course.
Weather conditions have been unstable in Hong Kong recently, including a typhoon storm that has just passed.
This means there may be a few showers throughout the evening.
The feature race for the day will be Race 9, a Class 2 1000m sprint.
Stoltz will carry the top weight under his best partner Zac Purton.
Classic Unicorn, who carries 13 pounds less, will attempt to turn the tables and bring the in-form Matthew Chadwick one more winner.
Mister Monte is now an 8YO, yet is defying his age by being competitive in this class.
Even as he matures he hasn't lost a key factor needed for Happy Valley racing, his consistent gate speed.
At his last start, he ran a solid 3rd over this course and distance, proving he is still able to win when the rivals are weaker.
Today he drops to Class 5, giving him every chance to perform well.
Dylan Mo will be on board again and he has partnered Mister Monte to two wins this season.
Gate 5 is an ideal draw to use his early speed and with the lack of speed inside he can get a picnic in front.
Look for him to kick on the bend and score another Class 5 win.
My Intelligent comes into this event with Happy Valley experience now under his belt.
It is a course that can take time to adjust to, so I am expecting an improved performance now.
He broke his maiden over 1400m at Sha Tin in April and has continued to improve with each run since.
He returns to the city circuit today and also gets stretched out over a longer event for the first time.
Being out of Holy Roman Emperor, this rise in distance will suit him perfectly.
He had an impressive gallop last Thursday, this 4YO is able to win again under Matthew Chadwick.
This competitive race can go to the Douglas Whyte trained Big Two.
The Dandy Man gelding is yet to salute but has made the frame on his last four starts.
He remains well handicapped and is reunited with Lyle Hewitson, a jockey having a season to remember.
Big Two missed his intended race last month due to a slight setback, but looked great in a recent trial won by the classy Stoltz who runs in the final race.
From barrier 1, Big Two can finally get a well-deserved success on the board.
Rising From Ashes will be a popular selection but I'm taking Lyrical Motion to hit the right notes for trainer Chris So.
This lightly raced 4YO disappointed last time but the yielding ground was not to his liking.
From an excellent barrier close to the rail he can bounce back under Matthew Chadwick.
He is yet to win in Hong Kong but his previous runs over this course and distance read well.
